As the winery wraps up harvest, they will celebrate with a blow-out party from 1 to 6 p.m. on Nov. 4. Tickets at the door are $20 per person, or $30 for a pair in advance online. The winery is located at 55 4th St. Their number is 510-465-5900.

In addition to their current releases (listed below), they’ll be pouring futures and serving appetizers. DJ Brett Pinkin will be spinning. Oh, and definitely bring the kids: Alana Dill of Alameda will be painting faces and there will also be an arts and crafts area. Maybe we’ll get to paint a barrel!

I’ll be there, pouring the bottles of nectar, so please come by and say hi. I can’t promise you’ll get a sample of the wild Pourquoi Pas Syrah, the unheated and thereby lovely Zinfandel, and all of winemaker Jeff Cohn’s silky Rhone-style whites. I may just hoard them all to myself.

I guarantee you’ll have a good time with Cohn as your host. The guy always said he’d dye his hair if one of his wines ever scored a 95 or higher. Well, he did it when Parker gave his 2004 Philary Syrah a 96. See you on the 4th…
